Through and through Hokie Gajan was a New Orleans Saint, his 36-year affiliation with the organization – as a player, a member of the player personnel staff and as radio analyst for the team’s games – serving as a testament to his dedication and loyalty to the franchise.
Monday night his voice was silenced, and much of the Black and Gold nation fell silent at the news of his passing.
Gajan, 56, was diagnosed last fall with a rare form of cancer called liposarcoma and died from his illnesses. Those illnesses forced him to abbreviate his duties as radio analyst for the Saints’ flagship station, WWL-870, last season.
